Welcome!
On 25th of May, all TIC industry leaders will gather in Brussels for TIC Council's Global Board Meeting and Annual General Meeting. In the afternoon, TIC Council is organising its annual TIC Summit, titled "How to reach net zero in an uncertain world: Will the EU’s ambitious policy framework speed up decarbonisation across the globe?" that will bring together EU and international organisations, policymakers, and industry representatives from around the world to discuss whether the EU Green Deal will encourage similar action from regulators in other regions.
We will kick off with a view of the challenge of climate change and the need to decarbonise our global economy, from renowned futurologist Ray Hammond. A high-level institutional speaker will then provide an overview of the steps EU legislators have taken towards providing a framework for a measurable reduction in carbon emissions across all sectors.
A panel discussion will then examine in greater depth how carbon removal schemes across the world can and must evolve. The EU’s recent proposal of a certification framework for carbon removals is the first such framework to verify the authenticity of removals. What should monitoring, reporting and verification of removal schemes look like, and will other regions in the world follow the EU’s example?
Please note that the deadline to register is 15 May 2023.
